For engineering services & startups
Iterate in days, not weeks.
For engineering services and startups that need to move fast.
01Two weeks at the assembly house
Quote, parts, queue, shipping: the next revision waits, and the project with it.
02Hours at the soldering iron
Engineers hand-placing boards cost engineering rates, and by hand there is a limit to what you can place at all.
03A pick-and-place never paid off, and you were right
At 90 minutes of setup, hand placement is faster for one to twenty boards.
04Nobody on the team has run a pick-and-place
And nobody has the time to become the machine person.
01Placed the same day
Upload, put parts and board on the bed as they came, start: no quote, no queue, no shipping.
02Engineering time back, fine pitch included
Nobody sits at the iron, and the machine places what hands can't: 0402, BGA at 0.5 mm pitch.
03Setup in minutes instead of an hour and a half
At 5 to 10 minutes of setup, a five-board job belongs on the machine, not the bench.
04No pick-and-place expertise on the payroll
The software carries the process, so any engineer on the project can run the job the week it is needed.
Design is accelerating
AI tools are turning schematic and layout work from weeks into days, and the number of revisions a team can afford keeps rising.
Fabrication is a utility
Bare boards are a 24-hour to 7-day order at a price that rounds to nothing for a prototype.
Assembly hasn't moved
Getting the parts onto the board is still the slowest, least automated step in the loop, and it caps how fast everything else can go.
Whoever closes the loop fastest wins
Every revision you assemble the same day is one a competitor is still waiting on. That is the advantage the Etna gives you.
Does the Etna fit your lab?
Solder paste and reflow are already in place
Then the Etna drops straight into the workflow: apply paste as before, the Etna places, reflow as before.
Not in house yet
A stencil printer and a small reflow oven are all it takes. We give specific recommendations in a personal conversation.
